Exide HSP Classic and Gen-X Traction Batteries Overview
Flooded Motive-Power Batteries for Forklift Applications
Exide HSP Classic and Gen-X Traction Batteries
form part of Exide’s flooded traction battery
portfolio for compatible forklift and
material-handling applications.
HSP Classic is available in both BS and DIN
battery configurations to address different
forklift battery standards and equipment formats.
The BS range extends from 58Ah to 841Ah, providing
multiple capacity configurations for compatible
British-standard traction battery systems.
DIN configurations cover capacities from 120Ah
to 1400Ah for compatible Continental-standard
traction battery arrangements.
Gen-X builds on the HSP platform with 15%
additional capacity while retaining corresponding
HSP dimensional formats.
The Gen-X architecture uses larger-diameter
gauntlet tubes, increasing the annular volume
available within the positive plate structure.
Its positive active material incorporates red
lead and grey oxide as part of the battery’s
enhanced plate formulation.
Both ranges are designed around flooded
lead-acid traction technology for repetitive
motive-power applications.
